Species spotted1082Two weeks in mid-February 2020 with Rofeeq as quide to Assam and Arunachal Pradesh was truly memorable and could not have been better with any other guide. Due to his fantastic skills of hearing the most minute bird calls and knowing the species responsible resulted in us finding even the rarest and most difficult to see birds. An incredible 402 bird species for 12 days in February we saw! On top of that he also knows all the mammals and most butterflies etc etc. and is a pleasure to travel and bird with. So truly recommended. Our best guide ever! Thank you so much Rofeeq!
Nov 2019 I had the pleasure to spend 25 days in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh with Rofeeq as my guide for the entire trip. His commitment to finding the birds is absolute, he uses his ears, eyes, and his vast knowledge of environment to find the birds, and is extremely adept at helping his client to view and to photograph them. Being a professional photographer himself, he is excellent at positioning the client for the best shot. Since I am a beginning birder, my wish was to go "slow birding", to enjoy and observe, rather than ticking off a list and grabbing a quick shot. Rofeeq understood completely. He loves observing bird behavior himself, and together we observed patiently. When not guiding, Rofeeq is out in the field travelling and birding with friends, and ever learning. He is truly committed, and one of the all time greats!
There's not enough stars to justify this rating 🙂
It's epic to go birding with Rofik. His uncanny ability to spot, hear and predict birds is extraordinary. Breathes life to the birding experience, he's more a mentor than a guide! One with nature, he's warm, funny and caring. His experience in birding is unparalleled, you can count on him to show you what India has to offer!
It was a rich experience birding with Rofikul. He has a very good ear for bird calls and is a great spotter. You can be sure he will do his best to find a bird in your wish list. Look forward to birding with him again.
An excellent guide, who is patient with his clients ensuring everyone in the group sees the birds. His ID is very good, recognizing calls too very easily - this makes for a very enriched birding for those with him! That he is a specialist became clear when he was able to predict that he would find the Hodgson's Frogmouth by looking at the habitat - and he did within minutes, though it was his first visit to the area! Though he carries a camera, unlike some other guides, his priority is to ensure that his clients get to photograph the birds first! For Rofikul, birding is a passion which gets transferred to everyone around him! I would love to go birding with him again and again!
